#1310037284954837063 message Mutant loot available too :P

[vital coyote]

ohh fuck yes!!! i can finaly turn my crosshair off

[desert valve]

@vital coyote addition to guide for working with .ucas & .utoc when? 😛

[deep ridge]

Does anyone have experience editing the food and drink values here who could help me figure out how the stamina values work for energy drinks and water?

for the cfg files.

[vital coyote]

yeah i gotta, haven't learned how to mess with that stuff yet but its Deff super important

tried packing one up b4 but didnt do something right

was just a shot in the dark tho got busy and dropped it

[desert valve]

i wanna look into one mostly, packing comes later

[vital coyote]

ohh yee for sure

i also want to figure out the best way to actualy manipulate the texture files and stuff there is a guide on shadar filters and stuff out there i need to link to

like for .dds files i have a plugin from nvida to inport and export in photoshop

not sure what this uses or how it uses it

[void owl]

Best way i fpund on how to properly import uassets into Unreal Engine ditor is using this plugin:

https://github.com/JsonAsAsset/JsonAsAsset

Worked for Curves assets perfectly. Havent tried any other assets though

[vital coyote]

ohh hell yeah, gotta look inot that. think i saw you share that a bit ago and saved it for latter tbh rn i have no clue wtf im doing in unreal engine yet xD i moved a ball around and tried to drag and drop some files in for a bit

[void owl]

I honestly also dont really know much. But after like 10 hours last 2 weeks working on my mod i need a small break.... ran into so many walls with UE'...

[vital coyote]

yeah for sure why im tikeing it all bit by bit as i ply the base game

[radiant ledge]

Hey guys, I remember seeing the MO2 plugin for S2 mentioned a lot, but I can't find it now for some reason...

[vital coyote]

hol up

[void owl]

I definetly should be playing the game more

[vital coyote]

Mo2 for S2
https://github.com/ModOrganizer2/modorganizer-basic_games/pull/167/commits/0ce0d2f636050f7280c60875a13ece0c1502323a

Install a portable instance of Mo2

Download that .py file and place it in \modorganizer2\plugins\basic_games\games

[radiant ledge]

you the king, Trave!

[vital coyote]

o7

[radiant ledge]

thanks 🙂

[vital coyote]

hehe Samee doesn't help i had to restart lmao

[radiant ledge]

I'm on my 4th or 5th restart at this point, never made it out of the Smaller Zone 😄 Just keep testing shit and not playing

[void owl]

one of my close friends just got hardlocked in main quest. Not even going back multiple hours of save files wuld fix his quest bugging out :/ im so scared for myself

[vital coyote]

my problem is my own making lol my current version of the game dosnt have the dlc couldnt tranfer the game from my old one that had the dlc

[vital coyote]

gaht dam

need a new game pluss mod

transfer gear between saves

[radiant ledge]

there's a way to read inventory through UEtools (I may be wrong, it might as well be through something else) or something, and you can then just spawn items on a new save...best we can do until proper save editors are out

[vital coyote]

yeah thats what i was thinking, i also think there is a way to just dump stuff the same way

would also benifit to have a skip intro to go with it lol

[radiant ledge]

the tutorial, you mean? Yeah...after the third time I started thinking about getting into speedrunning of this thing XD

[vital coyote]

woud be pretty bad ass for iron man runs to start by waking up in an anomalous cemetery with a dog biting at your feet

i never think ima finish ironman but the "how long can i survive" aspect is fun

[wicked wind]

Hi! Wanted to extract PDA icons, but files seems to be encrypted. Is there any way to deal with it?

[azure mortar]

That's amazing

I'm just gonna delete all the games I have so it can compile properly 🥲

[neat thistle]

Did you figure out how to change/add new sound effects to the game, guys?

[radiant ledge]

I really need to force my lazy ass to finally install the UE 5.1 and unpack the goddamn game, can't make myself do it for like a week now

[sinful cypress]

Someone found the audiofiles and can tell me, where they are and how to play them 😉

[azure mortar]

@compact otter i am downloading this version right now, just to be clear, will it have all the files of the game accessible? Like textures and materials or will i need to unpack stuff and move it to the project folder for it to appear

im asking since i checked the files viewed in github and didnt find any texture files there

[autumn birch]

This is probably not the place to ask this, but is there any mod out there that would allow to heal and reload while sprinting?

[wicked wind]

There isn't yet

[autumn birch]

Yeah check on moddb and also nothing

[unreal glacier]

Is it possible to manually adjust the viewmodel FoV for individual weapons?

[azure mortar]

just pasting it here, first i used this file to download the things needed. GenerateProjectFiles.bat was not working before this so i skipped that and went to this part since maybe it probably has project files

once it was all done, i got this part right here with stalker 2 uproject, for some reason it does not launch

it asked me for what version of UE it wants to use, i selected 5.1 since thats what the game uses

current error that it gives

[azure mortar]

how did you manage to do the plugin settings tho?

i only got AES key, it was asking for archive keys and other things

• didnt launch local fetch at all

[azure mortar]

changed editor to another option i got which said "Source build at" while choosing engine version

different error this time

for more context this is what the screen looks like

5.5 and 5.1 are the ones i had installed from Epic games launcher, third option is the source build which i currently installed using Setup.bat file from github

[sand parrot]

Need a mod that allows you to kill whoever. I can’t even aim at some people

[azure mortar]

also where is this .sln file? didnt get it from any of the downloads or after building

[raw crest]

I don't think we will ever see a proper a-life mod till developers add something about it

[compact furnace]

Let the people cook, if GSC refuses to do a proper job, modders will, don't underestimate a dedicated fanbase

[smoky stirrup]

converting and editing ".uasset"? is something built in FModel? or?

[spark plinth]

Export as Jason then rename .Jason to .uasset before repacking.

Edit with your preferred coding software

This only works for coding

[smoky stirrup]

ill see what i can do. not sure if i even have the right file, thanks

[raw crest]

I cant wait to get mod support so i can remove all these random foliage, i feel like devs have not checked what grass in wooded areas look like in Eastern Europe

Old triology did it way better

[spark plinth]

I’m sad they took out the dev tool yesterday morning

[little sluice]

What did the dev tool do?

[spark plinth]

Let you see more of the game while playing it.

See live ids and what not.

[little sluice]

Oh interesting, I think you can roll the game back using the Steam console though

[sand vault]

Anyone have the Stalker 2 1.0 AES key? Need to unpack an older mod, but deleted mine.

[green surge]

This question might be worn out by now, but I haven't been looking in this discord since Stalker 2 released. Is there any plan to make a Gamma mod pack for Stalker 2, with it's similar progression and sandbox? I've heard the mod tools are quite limited rn, but I'm assuming the devs will work on this if they are true to their word.

Side note: A mod that actually makes it look as though you're wearing a helmet when, yk, you're wearing a helmet, would be nice. As well as Emission weather lasting a little longer after an emission, it seems to dissappear in less than a minute. I haven't seen anything of the sort on nexus mods yet.

[spark plinth]

Not sure if I can post it here, but here ya go.

0x33A604DF49A07FFD4A4C919962161F5C35A134D37EFA98DB37A34F6450D7D386

[sand vault]

Thanks

[spark plinth]

Don’t forget the usmap file.

[little sluice]

Something at the level of Gamma is practically impossible without an SDK. Right now most mods are config edits, texture swaps, reshades, etc. Ready or Not is like a best case example of Unreal modding without mod tools if you want a reference.

[spark plinth]

I’ll be plain about it. The devs focus right now is fixing what they have botched in release and then multiplayer. Someone mentioned they will perhaps drop a roadmap later this month.

[sand vault]

S2 uses UE5.3 right?

[green surge]

That's disappointing for sure, lol. I don't think Stalker 2 would be as popular if the modding community didn't breathe so much life into the older games over the years. I hope the devs understand that. And, yeah, Ready or Not mods are pretty rough.

[little sluice]

UE5.1

[sand vault]

Ahh ok

[lapis harness]

Another entrance barrier is that they have a custom build of 5.1 which makes a lot of stuff not work. I know there's someone working on an unofficial SDK but yeah

[little sluice]

I mean it has literally been less than 2 weeks since release lol, people are still learning how the game is structured and the game is still being actively patched. You probably need to wait a few months before you see some really substantial content mods

[sand vault]

What file loads DLCs? I pre-ordered the game the morning of release, a few hours before release, but I didn't see the pre-order bonuses. The game has all of the DLC content in it, just disabled. So I wanted to try messing around with that without directly gifting myself the rewards using console. I'd like to actually do the missions.

Hmm, maybe DefaultGame.ini

[raw crest]

we couldnt find it yesterday, tho you can write to steam support about it

[sand vault]

Yeah I'm gonna do that

[raw crest]

also check if this is present

[sand vault]

See what they say

Not showing any DLCs

Might just be because it was the same day

That sucks

[raw crest]

you can also ask Molti in official discord

why these storms are green

[sand vault]

Some storms can be green irl, but I've never seen that much green before

We get green sky when a supercell is forming

Yeah, look. Even shows as a pre-order.

[wide sonnet]

Glowing sea from fallout

[raw crest]

yeah seems like some issue on their part, talk to support and GM

[raw crest]

at least i wish green storm had radiation poisoning

[wide sonnet]

That would be so cool

[craggy heart]

If you can make an issue that’d be great

[crimson laurel]

i may have found a way to delete "baked" in assets from the map so i can replace it with lootable assets instead of it just being a prop

[little sluice]

What stage of the game are you at right now? I only got the DLC stash locations and mission just before I was able to cross from lesser zone to the garbage

[raw crest]

can anyone send me the link of extended stash ui

[crimson laurel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/515?tab=files this?

[raw crest]

yes thank you, i was searching for it for a while

[crimson laurel]

that man is simply doing magic

[half willow]

steam_api64.dll Stalker2/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/Steamworks/v153

There is a way to load the dlc even if you don't own it, but it's obviously shady practices so I can't share that with you here ;p

[sand vault]

I do own it, it just isn't showing up in my library.

Yeah, I understand how to make it load THAT way, but I'd rather not

[half willow]

I'd say just contact steam support, if they don't help, then do gsc support, cause steam support will most likely get back to you faster

[sand vault]

I contacted them, just a waiting game now.

[half willow]

Doesn't really matter which way you load it, it's all questionable. (even if you do own it, you'd basically be using a DLC Unlocker)

[sand vault]

I actually found it in the cfg files, where the DLCs are loaded. And found the DLC files themselves.

DefaultGame.ini

[half willow]

i mean the dlc files themselves are not really hidden, but I bet there must be some kind of verification where it asks steam if you own the DLC's (via steamapi)

[sand vault]

Yeah, I'm looking through it now..

There was another cfg file that showed something about the DLCs but I can't remember where I saw it

Just gonna wait and see what Steam says.

It might be because when I installed the game, Steam was in offline mode.

But that really shouldn't matter

[half willow]

Thats your best bet, no point in pulling your hair out trying to figure out whats wrong.

[raw crest]

it didnt work

[crimson laurel]

WORKED FOR ME

oops

[raw crest]

[sand vault]

Try putting zzzz_ at the beginning of the filename

Make it load last

[half willow]

I on the other hand have been trying to make this stupid fucking technician be able to add my custom upgrade to my gun, and I'm starting to lose my sanity

[sand vault]

Hmm

[raw crest]

let me try

[crimson laurel]

u need the ucas and utoc

its not a pak file

[raw crest]

yeah i saw them but he didnt mention them in download instructions

[sand vault]

You made a mod for a custom weapon/gear upgrade and the tech doesn't show it, or just can't apply it?

[half willow]

just cant apply it

[untold pilot]

Does anyone know how to fix the floating vodka glass bug?

[crimson laurel]

if they are there it's for something

[sand vault]

I wonder if it's seeing it as a blueprint

Instead of a normal upgrade

[half willow]

i doubt it

[raw crest]

do i put them to ~mods

[sand vault]

Yes

Along with the pak files

[sand vault]

It's that top grey one?

[half willow]

This screenshot is from the PDA, so it doesnt say, but when I go to a technician it says that this technician cant add this upgrade

[half willow]

yeah

[sand vault]

Some techs can't install some types of upgrades because they don't know how.

Takes a more advanced tech from a later portion of the game

I wonder if it's that

[half willow]

I tried at harpy

[sand vault]

Hmm

[half willow]

in yaniv

she can do all other upgrades for it

[spark plinth]

I want to note that currently, no one has yet figured out how to make it where every tech can do everything.

Those who have tried say that it’s not possible yet.

[sand vault]

Can she do the upgrade for the gun that caliber change originally came on?

[half willow]

I found a list of upgrades that technicians can upgrade in NPCPrototypes.cfg

but adding it there does nothing

[half willow]

that specific caliber change is fully custom

no other gun has a 9x18 conversion

[sand vault]

Yeah, I'm betting the tech ability is hardcoded somewhere outside of cfg files

Ohh okay

I'm willing to bet the problem is something that can't be dealt with in cfg files

[crimson laurel]

yes

[sand vault]

But maybe not, I dunno

I don't know enough about it yet to say for sure

[half willow]

Well if anyone ever finds out im planning to make a mod with a shit ton of additional upgrades, caliber conversions etc.

[spark plinth]

To my understanding, everything is possible, we have to edit the files in UE5.1 and repack them in through ~mods. That one person with the show icons for each faction mod is doing it that way.

[sand vault]

What files are you working in

[sand vault]

Ahh that's interesting

Ok

[spark plinth]

I’m working on that

But with attachments, same process.

[sand vault]

If you want to upload the files you're messing with to a drive where we can both access them, I'll mess with it too

[unreal glacier]

has anyone tried Maklane's mutant mod, does it decently preserve the base game's balance?

[umbral swallow]

I have like 44 mods, where did my life go wrong

[hallow sand]

Does anyone know where in the files I can find the smoke from the barrel

[umbral swallow]

It overwrites the changes introduced by gsc i believe

[spark plinth]

You’re fine friend. The devs dropped the ball on a couple of things.

[sand vault]

I removed all of the mods that change mutant health for now. Playing without them to see how the game is balanced first before making any changes.

[half willow]

I'll do that when I get home, i have a repo on github with it but it's obselete, need to push new files

[umbral swallow]

I think its 2d vfx camera locked shader, not really a file, rather a unreal engine visual based script embeded into the game, i know that few games had shaders available as editable files but no idea about ue5

[half willow]

I'll @ you later when I do

[hallow sand]

I mean if anything I could try swapping one from another gun.

but thank you

[spark plinth]

Let me know what you guys do, because that will conflict with my mod in the long run and I want to make it compatible.

[half willow]

We could collaborate and make it into one big mod (Attachments and Upgrades overhaul or smth) if you're interested

[sand vault]

Wow, Steam is fast. LOL This just popped up for the first time just now.

[umbral swallow]

Its surely possible, but we need more tools, similar to recent leaked debug tool that can assign "facts" like barrel smoke to items, or you can check out the mods that let you put any attachment on them, or the one which lets you put any weapon in sidearm slot, if its anything like rage engine then you will be able to add "fact" to the weapon just by editing its text config file

For example i use the nice revolver holster animation for desert eagle in gta 5, did it by adding "holster_anim" at the end of facts tab for the weapon

Cyberpunk works like that too, so i wouldnt be suprised if unreal did that

[spark plinth]

Here’s mine with a list of what files I made changes in.

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1312992178896633926

[half willow]

yeah mine changes:
WeaponGeneralSetupPrototypes
UpgradesPrototypes
EffectsPrototypes
NPCPrototypes (kinda useless cause it doesnt work)

[hallow sand]

"Flags": "RF_Transactional | RF_WasLoaded | RF_LoadCompleted"' Like this

?

[sand vault]

Great, now that the pre-order DLC is enabled, my game is crashing to desktop when I try to load my saves..

fml

[spark plinth]

I believe that ultimately, we who make mods that change bullet values, damage values and skeletons should try and get our stuff to be compatible with each other.

[umbral swallow]

Something like that

[umbral swallow]

For now impossible, the game refuses to load anything but original files, if two mods mod the same file you need merger or only one would work

[half willow]

I found a way to kinda do it, it works by appending new lines instead of replacing the whole .cfg file, but there's downsides to that, it requires you to own a DLC 😦
I explained it here:
#╟⚒stalker2™-mods-making-discussion message

[spark plinth]

Yes

[umbral swallow]

Interesting method

[hallow sand]

oh that's pretty awesome.

[spark plinth]

I don’t own any of them. :c

I will be making that purchase later this month.

[half willow]

If we can find a way to somehow trick the game into thinking it has bonus DLC (ones that don't exist), and use them to load in our mods instead of loading it straight into GameData, it will basically fix all compatibilty issues

[hallow sand]

If I wanna see those files, where aboutrs would I look for them in Fmodel? (the gaseous cloud fx)

[umbral swallow]

Got no knowledge about that

[hallow sand]

No worries!

[spark plinth]

[unreal glacier]

Did you ever put anything together around balancing FMJ/HP/AP ammo types

[hallow sand]

I actually managed to get a merge going of my dmg changes, weapon changes and a couple mods that changed the same things. Was just trying it earlier.

It's not as in depth yet though.

I don't have changes done toa mmo yet.

[unreal glacier]

I'd do it myself but kinda don't wanna spoil the whole game for myself yet (kinda futile at this point though)

I've seen so many screenshots and heard so much

kinda inevitable

[hallow sand]

I feel that lol

[unreal glacier]

oh well

[hallow sand]

That's why I played the story and such without seeing too much

so I could get away from spoils

[unreal glacier]

also some people are saying they wanna trial the recent dev changes to mutants first before adjusting anything

yeah

[hallow sand]

I buffed their HP a lot more compared to theirs. But my dmg changes make the game feel like enemies need rounds, but aren't sponges.

but I really wanna go more in depth like I said, and do my own version of ammo changes.

[unreal glacier]

kinda sad the devs didn't do it on their own, clearly the system is in place to have that level of detail

[flint flicker]

Okay, currently working on removing the 1 quest limit that's in place. Haven't had much success so far. Anyone been playing the quest configs?

[spark plinth]

If anyone can make repeatable quests for a sustainable play through. I’ll pay you a trip to Disney or something.

I want the Merc life.

[flint flicker]

LOL. well someone on nexus has taken the timer out, and this has inpsired me to get the 1 quest restriction removed. But that's like a 1000 or more files.

[raw crest]

i want this bug as a mod, changing voice for helmet/suit

wish

[half willow]

Yeah I was thinking that too when that bug happened to me, can't be arsed to mess around with audio variables tho

It should just BE like that

you know what i mean?

[barren timber]

The task ''The Assault on the Duga'' is not updated at the stage of securing a position at the checkpoint. I killed all the Monoliths and nothing happens. Does anyone know what needs to be written in the console for the task to be updated? there are no more passages here. just empty buildings and my allies standing in the same pose as shown in the screenshot.

[molten cargo]

I thought that too. There's a similar mod for Fallout 4 and power armor. Would be cool if wearing the Exoskeleton would cause that radio voice.

[sand vault]

Which A-Life mod do you guys think works the best? Because I'm in the swamp and boars and little critters keep spawning nonstop around me when I get close to any buildings. It's just dozens upon dozens of them. Want to see if anything will fix that.

I was using Super A-Life but that's gone

[compact furnace]

What is up with the absolute overuse of Bloodsuckers in this game man, I wish we had a mod to fix those already 🥲

[sand vault]

Yeah it's too many for those as well. They should be a rare occurance.

And they shouldn't come in groups of 3 or more quite so often either.

[half willow]

Army Warehouses I had 12 spawn on me when I unlocked the gate inside the main building

[sand vault]

I'm leaning toward Roadside Panic, I guess

But seems like that'll just increase spawn rates

I dunno

Game is broken, needs a complete overhaul

In my opinion, once you get to an area and clear it, enemy spawns should go onto cooldown for that area for say, 5-10 minutes. If you leave and come back 5-10 minutes later, enemies may spawn again, but not before.

Or something to that effect

[crystal ether]

I can't package with mule mesh

[spark plinth]

I had 3 stealth bois there

[orchid wharf]

i want to use Mutant loot mod with grok mutant health one and it is comflicting it how to fix that ??

[crisp wing]

i got u one sec

[orchid wharf]

ok bro

[crisp wing]

doesnt use groks but its a mutant hp patch with mutant loot compat https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/439

[smoky stirrup]

any tricks on finding specific in game sound files? like logging or somethin

[crimson laurel]

also... its not lods that make the foliage whiter, its certainly missing some map

or maybe it's just dogshit pcs

or maybe its because i turned off lumen

https://gyazo.com/8af76c091bcf57afc98a4758d7dd8582

[neat thistle]

How to spawn destructible stash? What command? Help, please

[crimson laurel]

wym by destructible stash? ammo box?

[neat thistle]

Ammo boxes, med boxes etc.

[crimson laurel]

not sure if its possible

[neat thistle]

Damn

Okay. Blind balancing then 😄

Thanks anyway

[crimson laurel]

in thee dev build u can spawn it tho

[sinful cypress]

merge em

https://github.com/Zweite93/Stalker2PakCfgMergeTool/releases

[raw crest]

@rustic granite check this

[raw crest]

I wish, it sounds good

[half willow]

@sand vault @spark plinth https://github.com/herbatka/ZubrCaliberChange/tree/staging
I pushed my changes to the repo, you can take a look if you want

[rustic granite]

intresting

[half willow]

Which files is this from?

[spark plinth]

Will have a look later today

[raw zealot]

A big thank you for modders.I have not tried myself any a life mod patch, i wanna give it some time for it to be baked well.But yeah if even in one year from now we will have a mod that makes a life work or a director that works offline also, then thank you.I know people already work on it.

[empty helm]

Thanks

[crisp wing]

i suggest hostile v1,7 of a life extended its very nice

has Axii stealth built in so you can actually get the drop on squads

[raw zealot]

last i tried roadside panic and no version worked.Had 0 spawns even not the scripted ones.For this mod do you need aditional tool/mods?

[crisp wing]

no

[crisp wing]

plug n play

[raw zealot]

I wont lose anything i ll give it a go

[crisp wing]

causes faction fighting events, wounded stalkers needing help, a 90-200m spawn radius and more its very very good

[raw zealot]

cooooool thanks man

Did they released any tools yet? an sdk smthng

so ppl can freemod

[crisp wing]

the 1.5 causes issues though lol i was one time chased over 1km by like 7 squads of bandits. Not sure tbh, i just kinda download the mods and play im no mod maker myself

[spark plinth]

Not yet, we are hoping to get one some time next year

[raw zealot]

Good luck guys you are doing gods work.

[orchid wharf]

which one do you guys suggest me to use to get the better experience than the original alife in the game

[spark plinth]

Hostile Edition

[orchid wharf]

yes i am installing that

but is it bugging main story quest ??

[spark plinth]

Nope, plug and play

[orchid wharf]

okk

[void owl]

Is this vibe?

[spark plinth]

Also, many missions are bugged by default, most mods don’t have to do with those.

[orchid wharf]

ok

[sage trail]

looks great

[void owl]

Ill have ti figure out how to fix the Foggy weather man...

for now, Light Rainy and Thundery are looking

[orchid wharf]

how ??

[void owl]

Want to focus on things that really work..... Want to touch up on stormy weather and cloudy (I hate how the clouds in cloudy look)

[void owl]

foggy weather has transitions between other weather set to 0.01, compared to other weathers which have 60-80 seconds... so when the weather changes to fogy or from fogy it just kind of transforms everything in a singular second

really sadge

foggy looks so good in the game

And here is the latest Light Rainy. Also a vibe

[spark plinth]

Someone in here mentioned wanting the emissions to last longer and after they are done the weather of the emissions without the harmful effects last longer as it dissipates. Would that be a possibility in the scope of your project?

[void owl]

ill packahe everything and upload the new version, you can go check it out on #1311655930907066461

[void owl]

yes could be. Emission overhaul is in the pipeline

i also have a bone to pick with emissions

[spark plinth]

[void owl]

Ive uploaded the new version. Go try it out!

[twilit scroll]

guys, is there a mod to disable autoleaning

[empty helm]

I'm here again with a stoopid question! Do you think it's possible to keep the iron sight on the G36 when a red dot/scope is installed ? I tried to remove/add the flipped sights on the M4 but it crashed my game

[spark plinth]

I don’t recommend cluttering the sockets as it will crash your game.

We also can’t currently adjust picture sight.

[spark plinth]

No such thing as a stupid question!

[empty helm]

Yeah I gave up yesterday it just crashes when I pick the weapon

[spark plinth]

[empty helm]

It makes the G37 so ugly without the iron sights

As you could keep them has backup sight in case the red dot fails lore friendly

[spark plinth]

My G37 is wacky as heck

[empty helm]

Nothing bothers me except where the red dot is placed

[spark plinth]

Did you notice that the devs completed disregarding the clipping on the attachments? My adhd is killling me.

[empty helm]

G36 has its own drum magazines ? Or is it the one from the M4??

[spark plinth]

Has its own

[pulsar pike]

Does anyone have the FSR 3.1.2 upscaler update files saved? The mod on nexus got removed

[empty helm]

Yeaaa it happens with some other weapons

[empty helm]

This sight removed for no reason

I just can't

[spark plinth]

I could give it a check later today.

My plan for this week is to add one weapon per day to my mod until I hit a hard wall.

I’m focusing on “NATO” weapons first.

[hallow sand]

Why do you hate me so ? 😦

Jk LMAO

[empty helm]

This game is so frustrating lol really weird choices for guns, like for the SOFMOD they added a front sight but the handguard already had one embedded in the rail

[spark plinth]

You special though, we going to work on the AKs.

[empty helm]

Love how they called NATO "EN" in the files

If it's not Russian it's English

Also I tried to replace the laser module of the G36 with the Sotnyk one but it just doesn't show, guess I made an invisible laser upgrade mod by accident

[spark plinth]

That’s a socket/skeleton issue. There is no socket for that outside of the sotnyk. There is though for the sotnyk scope.

[empty helm]

I need to find it btw gonna play a bit now I will try your mod

Oh yeah, I ignored the socket, left by default

I was expecting for it to work

[cobalt hamlet]

can you look into Class for Localization (LocalizationDatabase or Default_LocalizationDatabase) ?

[spark plinth]

When that SDK drops, mods going to go the speed of light.

☀️

[azure mortar]

fr

just trying to build custom UE but it gives an error everytime i solve one issue 🥲

before it was me not having Visual studio, now some file is missing

which idk where it is

[spark plinth]

Best I can say is that we have modded the core uasset files, repacked them and works. It’s just a hassle without an SDK.

[empty helm]

If the game get good fixes + the SDK it's gonna be 🔥

[spark plinth]

GAMMA 2.0 in the horizon.

You know how many random NPCs say randomly: “I wish there was a guide to take me to X place.” And I’m here like, I can! Gib side quest!

[empty helm]

Massive faction battles in 10 fps

[spark plinth]

I tell ya. Besides the attachments, I will add a Merc Base to the map.

[hallow sand]

The amount of additional questing that will come is gonna be lit

But first, I want that one girl as a side kick. The mean one.

[empty helm]

I was looking for Dead City in S2...

[spark plinth]

The malachite vendor ?

[indigo jolt]

Is there any weapon/ammo rebalance mod from someone who actually understands basic ballistics and game balance?

[spark plinth]

There’s several in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1309526198833119303

[hallow sand]

Harpy? I think her name is 🙂

But yeah lmao, she polishes that rifle so much, I wanna see her put it to use.

[empty helm]

The one at the train station

[raw crest]

Stalker 2?

[spark plinth]

Yes?

[half willow]

Harpy is in Yaniv

[hallow sand]

Oh yes harpy, but the malachite one is a close second.

[raw crest]

I beg someone who actually knows how to work with gun animations and guns in this game to make gun inspection animation from arena available for manual activation with input 🙏

[spark plinth]

Will do

[empty helm]

I wonder if they have battle voice lines and more importantly animations, as we only see them sitting behind a counter

[spark plinth]

😉

[woeful crane]

Hows everyone doing today feller's
Hope yall are having a good day =]

[hallow sand]

They have some ingame, they're just relegated to the arena only

[spark plinth]

I will ultimately port stuff from Tarkov.

[hallow sand]

^ Thats even cooler

[spark plinth]

[raw crest]

You know which ones im talking about right, "unique" animations some guns have in animations folder

[orchid wharf]

who do you guys think when we will have limb system in the game and magazine mods for the gun

[spark plinth]

Limb like they did in GAMMA?

[raw crest]

Yeah I just want it to be available with button press instead of scripted cutscene

[spark plinth]

Yes

[orchid wharf]

yes

[spark plinth]

We’re lucky that it’s possible to simply port from Unity to UE with ease.

[raw crest]

Are you gonna reconfigure animations in unity then import it back?

[empty helm]

With the SDK I hope someone will make a mod so you can't skip healing/eating animations

[spark plinth]

Whatever is easier.

[vital coyote]

they skip themselves for me all the time

[empty helm]

It's really half assed how you can just cancel them by doing something else

[raw crest]

There is a mod that skips backpack animation already, i think they should be similar

[spark plinth]

I think ima rename my mod to Weapon Overhaul

[indigo jolt]

Better Ballistics is the better balanced one?

[empty helm]

Moth's Improved Weaponry, Idk make it more personal

[spark plinth]

If that’s the one by kazz, then yes

[spark plinth]

I hear ya

[empty helm]

You use a short nickname do it's easy to remember, there will be tons of "weapon improvements" mods

[spark plinth]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1312992178896633926

[empty helm]

As someone who uses tons of mods it's a nightmare sometimes to remember which mod is which

[empty helm]

MWO, soon a must have for a perfect Stalker 2 experience

[spark plinth]

[raw crest]

https://youtu.be/07UFu-OX1yI

I really want this dude to analyze Stalker 2 so we can create proper optimizations mods.

I feel like half of the stuff that he talks about SH2 is also applicable to Stalker 2

[vital coyote]

i think someone said he was working on one

and he mentioned s2 in his newest vid

but i was like listing to it in the bg so not totaly sure what he said about it

[raw crest]

Hopefully, i checked their servers and saw some questionable choices from gsc regarding some vegetation choices

[wise mica]

Is anyone in the process of creating a visual effect mod that can replace the health bar?

[vital coyote]

yeah the more i learn about this stuff the more i hate things

[spark plinth]

Best vegetation I’ve ever seen is in Gray Zone Warfare. They made their own vegetation plug in called Skala.

[vital coyote]

^ dose look nice

in concept tho that game plays worse then s2

low frames make me feel sick when im playing longer then 30min

[spark plinth]

They also need some optimization

[broken wren]

actually i have out of vram 7/8gb when fps fall down to 10, doesnt care its epic or potato settings
gtx 4060

[tawdry moat]

is there a mod for less headbobing while runnin?

[raw crest]

I think some performance reviewer mentioned fps suddenly dropping to 10 means you are out of VRAM

[vital coyote]

we are hunting

[tawdry moat]

good ^^

[raw crest]

What is your setting regarding textures?

[vital coyote]

no clue how yet ive given up a few times but pple are trying

[azure mortar]

how were you able to make it work? stuck on the part where it needs this Stalker2.vcxproj file, and none of the links i found to github has anything for it

[raw crest]

Check this

[vital coyote]

that looks so good

[raw crest]

In general i hate vegetation in Stalker 2, maybe we can cope and say it is effect of anomalies and radiation but it does not feel realistic have 10 types of foliage in 1 square meter

[vital coyote]

yeah some ue5 games have like a fake vasoline effect

i bearly know shit about dick but i think it has to do with the automatic lod stuff and nanite

mixed with having to use upscaling

which if your using ait 1920 x 1080 looks ass anyway

[raw crest]

I wonder if we will be able to replace vegetation models after mod sdk...

[vital coyote]

could also be the shader texture shit

[broken wren]

first 20 hours im play on low, rn high(dlss qual)
Check out sometimes cpu/gpu
CPU smth like 60% - 5700x3d
Ram 20/32 2x16 3700 ddr4
VRam 90%+
So i guess GSC need to fix memory leak, my pc is more than enough to play any equal game)

[vital coyote]

replace it all with standard game stuff

[raw crest]

Turn down textures to low as a bandaid fix

[raw crest]

Another example

[wise mica]

game was scheduled to release for december 2022 unreal engine wasnt available until april 2022, I have a feeling there were some assets made for the previous engine that were moved over to save time

thats only 8 months to work on developing for UE5

[broken wren]

its doesnt change anything. Its leaking, my first walktrought on everything low, 100+ fps but sometimes u need to restart game for free ur memory.
Try a lot of cfg from nexus, doesnt change anything about fps fall

[spark plinth]

We all know there’s some portion of rushing.

[raw crest]

I just saw info first leaked builds was in unreal engine 4? Might be bullshit

[spark plinth]

But by who? Microsoft?

[vital coyote]

could check your regular ram too search resource monitor check your standby ram

this helps me alot
https://youtu.be/EjnF-bVYUdw?si=P515RSGh8gFOgNGz

[raw crest]

Probably just run out of funding, they haven't released anything in 6 years

[wise mica]

do you have source? I think it very likely it started in UE4

[raw crest]

Their last game was cossacks in 2017 or 2018

[hallow sand]

Watched a video this morning that showed a lot of assets/work done on parts of the map that aren't accessible yet.

So there's a lot of stuff planned I feel.,

[raw crest]

Just some message from dude in random server, probably not true

[wise mica]

oh, that not a great source lol

[vital coyote]

i think they have had the "lets make a game" idea stuff done for a while, but dev time was a reck with covid and the war

[empty helm]

Fixed your Clusterfuck in HHH (sorry a bit off topic)

[worthy tendon]

cool stuff

[spark plinth]

So much better!!!

[wise mica]

what is this monstrosity

too many attachment

[half willow]

no no no, we need MOAR

[empty helm]

That's just Moth's g36

[half willow]

That's my G36, but I have the underbarrel shotgun instead of the GL

[wise mica]

drum magazine and suppressor

[half willow]

I am the one who melts suppressors

[spark plinth]

Mine in game

[half willow]

also

did you see that when you change fire modes on the g36, the charging handle moves

[wise mica]

almost as bad as french magazines

[spark plinth]

Trust, the devs know what they are doing. jk.

[wise mica]

do you think its makes them sad that people are immediately changing everything about the game?

[half willow]

I'd be happy if other people were doing my work for me

[wise mica]

when game served to the people

[empty helm]

now that's the one you truly deserve, added switch to side magnifer, powerful flashlight, bipod and angled foregrip (ok now I stop )

[desert valve]

i made my character jump with a lua script

huge progress /s

[vital coyote]

you used an outside script make an ingame action happen . small steps big implications 🙂

[spark plinth]

GTA5 modding flashbacks.

[spark plinth]

Such attention to detail

[desert valve]

i just which it was java than i would feel so at home

[vital coyote]

s2 java edition when

tired of bedrock

[half willow]

HOLY SHIT

I DID IT

I FIXED COMPATIBILTY

brb while i write a doc for all yall

[raw crest]

Where do i find this g36(C?)

In the game

Never seen it

[empty helm]

pretty much everywhere after the newbie area

[torpid halo]

@raw crest you have to upgrade it

[raw crest]

I have normal one with attached scopes

[torpid halo]

from the ones you find

[raw crest]

Oh i see

Damn i wish I didn't sell the second one i had, i like storing each version of gun in my stash

[torpid halo]

youll find another

[desert valve]

how can i view the unknown unreflected data in ue4ss

[hallow sand]

Sooooo, one of my fav mods I used in gamma was one that rezed any human killed as a zombie, I have found the zombie cfg files but haven't lookked into em much, anyone peek into em a lot?

Also kinda wanna give zombies massive health, but die to 1 bullet hs. but not a clue how t ogo about that.

[torpid halo]

I think it should be within that config, should have a headshot multiplier if its like the humans, no?

[hallow sand]

Sick, I'm gonna look into that shortly 😄

[raw crest]

is this normal or one of my mods fucking up with it

[merry mountain]

i dont think we can

[merry mountain]

there is a console command to revive a dead npc as a zombie

XResurrectNPCAsZombie NpcUID

You would need to find an OnDeath Event or something that happens when an npc diies, and then hook into that and revive it

[hallow sand]

So would it be hard to make that into a script anytime

[hallow sand]

Was about to ask about that, I'll see if I can find that ondeath an get back to ya 😄

I know where the zed hp/dmg etc is so I'm gonna go start with that.

[merry mountain]

the command itself works, i already tried it ingame manually
it also turns alive npcs to zombies, if you execute it with an alive NPC uid

[spark plinth]

That actually looks like normal UI bug.

[desert valve]

it sure is crashy with ue4ss loaded

[merry mountain]

idk i did not have many crashes with ue4ss loaded

i mainly crash if i reload the ue4ss Mods often

[vital coyote]

ive heard alot of pple do crash ive only used it for dumpmap

[desert valve]

just scrolling through properties crashed it twice now after working flawlessly for a good while before

and its not the game that crashes

its the debug tools

happens when i view player properties, other NPC has been fine so far

[hallow sand]

I missed the inv to the stalker convention, god damn.

waiting for lightning to strike them all

[spark plinth]

Better luck next year

[vital coyote]

that is not the true stalker convention

[hallow sand]

LMAO

[spark plinth]

[vital coyote]

i cant watch that video without irl cracking the fuck up

[merry mountain]

i have way more crashes btw. when i use UE4SS with the Test/Dev Build

[desert valve]

i am using the dev build

The developer install is intended for mod developers or users who wish to use UE4SS for debugging, dumping or other utilities.
sounded allright to me

[merry mountain]

who said that

[desert valve]

https://docs.ue4ss.com/dev/installation-guide.html#method-2---developer-install

[merry mountain]

no you confuse what i say

i mean the stalker 2 dev build

not ue4ss dev build

[desert valve]

ohh gotcha

i have auto updates on

so no more test/dev build for me anyway 😄

[vital coyote]

i have the zip and can upload day 1 patchunk 16 if you need it

[merry mountain]

you can just put the requiered files in again

[desert valve]

i thought as much, but currently no need for it anyway

[half willow]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dlH18CWkIuBjdzZJbeuH0pFcji3JNdv336uHq1KsDR0/edit?usp=sharing

[unreal knot]

When using UnrealUnpak I get this every now and then from certain mods, what does it mean?

Fatal error: [File:D:\Stream3\Engine\Source\Runtime\PakFile\Private\IPlatformFilePak.cpp] [Line: 366]
Trailing magic number (0d) is different than the expected one. Verify your installation.

(Other than there's a trailing magic number!)

[vital coyote]

mind if i ad your doc to my guide thing?

[half willow]

go ahead man, I wish everyone uses this way now

gonna be way easier to combine mods

instead of comparing files with n++ and shit

[vital coyote]

cool cool read though it some snifty stuff 🙂 some of it went over my head a bit but if i install a mod that way should clear it up a bit

[half willow]

I'm publishing a preview on my github now, will link in a second

[vital coyote]

cool cool hell yeah

[cobalt hamlet]

Can we manage to know why our game crashed ?

[sage trail]

"Now, in that folder we make our edits to files like UpgradePrototypes.cfg, but we don’t include the entire part, we only link to the struct we want to change, or add an entirely new one.
This is how a struct is made in the default file:

GunZubr_Upgrade_Body_2 : struct.begin {refkey=[0]}

We need to add a refurl parameter to link our code to the original file, so we make the struct look like this:

GunZubr_Upgrade_Body_2 : struct.begin {refurl=../../GameData/UpgradePrototypes.cfg;refkey=[0]}"

so basically you have to insert the file structure inside the refurl? would be nice to have this explained a bit more thoroughly but otherwise this is very useful

[half willow]

I'll try explaining it further, but It's kinda hard for me (Not a native english speaker)

[half willow]

https://github.com/herbatka/ZubrCaliberChange/releases/tag/v0.1.1-dev

[desert valve]

you can link by id in some cases which would be way better than by index

[sage trail]

dont worry im not an native english speaker either thats why i dont understand it lol

[sage trail]

what kind of id ?

[desert valve]

TemplateRifle : struct.begin {refkey=TemplateWeapon}

[vital coyote]

seams simalar to how steam workshop works

[desert valve]

SID = TemplateWeapon

[vital coyote]

may be able to get info on stuff if your look in that direction

[half willow]

That will work only if the TemplateWeapon is specified in the same file, if it's in a different one, you need the refurl

[desert valve]

you can have both AFAIK

GunPM_HG_NPC : struct.begin {refurl=PlayerWeaponAttributesPrototypes.cfg;refkey=GunPM_HG_Player}

[sage trail]

that would so much easier

[merry mountain]

have you tried that?

or are you speculating

[magic geyser]

ref url specifies the cfg file, refkey the struct being used (which uses the key name, not SID, btw, although both are usually the same there are some rare cases where they are not). you use [n] when the cfg is an array

[desert valve]

speculating, i have seen it in the game files (where i got the example)

[merry mountain]

ok then its probably fine

[summer silo]

Ayo mods that are loaded as DLC's? 👀

[warped mortar]

Anybody know where I go for help with Shaysliving zone mod? I'm getting invisible enemies

I am going to check this out..

[warped mortar]

Thank uu

[vital coyote]

o7

[summer silo]

AYO

ITS LOADING AS A LOOSE FILE!?

[vital coyote]

no packing and unpacking 😮

[summer silo]

[half willow]

Basically it depends on what you're trying to do, if you're editing a struct that is already found in the files, you need refurl to specify the file and the refkey has to be the same as the struct that you're modifying is, for example:
If you're modifying a struct like this:
GunSPSA_Upgrade_Stock_3 : struct.begin {refkey=[0]}
You need to use the exact same refkey, but add a refurl:
GunSPSA_Upgrade_Stock_3 : struct.begin {refurl=../../blahblahblah;refkey=[0]}

[summer silo]

Smart.
Man made it load as a DLC by checking if you own steam app id 480

[half willow]

no lol

you need the .pak

https://github.com/herbatka/ZubrCaliberChange/releases/download/v0.1.1-dev/HerbataCaliberChangev0_1_1_dev.pak

[summer silo]

Fuck

[half willow]

I wish

[summer silo]

I legit thought it loaded as a loose file

My hopes ruined

Still, making it load by checking for spacewar.
Clever.

[half willow]

A man can turn into a pirate, but a pirate cant turn back into a man. 🏴‍☠️

[summer silo]

... Wait could we change uh.. the dlc id's to make the game load them?

[desert valve]

is it that easy to get the DLCs working? 😄 just change which id it checks? o.O

[half willow]

dont know, haven't checked

[desert valve]

the game no one plays, but everyone does somehow

[summer silo]

I'm gonna try changing the numbers to match half-life games

[crimson laurel]

i havent looked at as val mesh but is the as val mesh joined together with the damn scope?

is it possible to make the scope an attachment and take the scope from the weapon cus damn 🤓

[half willow]

do cop and cs

[summer silo]

I own those on gog

[half willow]

but srsly not gonna lie, when I booted up the game and saw that it loaded the fake dlc

OH BROTHER

[crimson laurel]

u dont need to post it

[desert valve]

otherwise we cross a line here

[half willow]

like brother

you can just use creamapi

no need for a mod

[crimson laurel]

what do i need to change then 🐔

[summer silo]

True, doesn't make it feel any better
I wanted to buy ultimate once its out.

[crimson laurel]

anyone who bought ultimate 100% didnt buy for items

[desert valve]

but you should be able to do GunSPSA_Upgrade_Stock_3 : struct.begin {refurl:../../blahblahblah;GunSPSA_Upgrade_Stock_3}, and only change the specific values you want to, no?

[north wasp]

Lmao this 100% gonna be patched or something

[crimson laurel]

u can literally spawn the items with the console

[summer silo]

Bruh loading the save file caused all the stashes to show up on my map

[north wasp]

[vital coyote]

wait you unlock it? ive been trying to mess with the launch ini for a little bit now

[summer silo]

kek

[hallow sand]

What did you do under Sidorovich's counter for all that intel

[vital coyote]

needed to start a new game

[crimson laurel]

just use XLoadLastSave with uetools

it bypasses that

[half willow]

No, cause you would be referring to the same struct that you're overwriting basically

[summer silo]

I kicked him out of Cordon

[hallow sand]

Stole his empire huh? niceeee

[vital coyote]

last save is a new one now ;/ good to know tho

[empty helm]

Doesn't work for me (gamepass version)

[desert valve]

im goona try this

[summer silo]

Anyway imma just.. Undo that real quick

[crimson laurel]

how doesnt it work for u?

[indigo jolt]

Does anyone have some kind of script/tool to mass edit cfg properties by multiplying them?

[crimson laurel]

[raw crest]

damn it is already out

[empty helm]

I can get every base game weapons in my inventory with commands except the DLC ones

[crimson laurel]

[raw crest]

just a warning if you remove mod later your save will be locked

[vital coyote]

well yeah, read on the mod page it wasnt compatable

[crimson laurel]

it wont

[vital coyote]

may have changed tho

[summer silo]

I loaded the save and closed the game
I don't plan on cheating my way into getting ultimate items

I'll wait for the ultimate edition to come out as a separate purchase

[half willow]

where is your guide linked btw, can't find it

[raw crest]

there was a dude who lost his save because of that, @vital coyote was it you?

[vital coyote]

ultimate is ptw anyway guns are cool af but its a go here for good loot

[crimson laurel]

u can bypass that with uetools

[hallow sand]

I like the anonomyous messages but it could have been cooler

[vital coyote]

nahh i lost my save because of not haveing the dlc anymore

[raw crest]

Monolith weapons are the ugliest shit i have ever laid my eyes on

Chief, I got our compatibilty issues sorted, now we only need to get the technicians to actually upgrade the new upgrades

[cobalt hamlet]

Imagine being banned from the multiplayer when it come ? 🙂

[summer silo]

The reason why I chose to not toy with it any further.

[vital coyote]

the true mp will be the ones the modders make

[cobalt hamlet]

netcode is a pain 🙂

[summer silo]

I mean
Multiplayer will likely be just team deathmatch on the current map locations

[cobalt hamlet]

but nice finding btw 🙂

[summer silo]

Will be less of a pain than adding multiplayer to x-ray engine code

[vital coyote]

yeah i prob will play it twice

deathmatch that is lol

[cobalt hamlet]

btw if we can do mods as DLC without overwrite other people work , it's really good , but we need to find if LocalizationDB work too

[desert valve]

btw. if refurl does not actually match a file it CTDs

[vital coyote]

dude when the tools are out the "together" team is gunna be on it i bet money

[half willow]

Yessir

[cobalt hamlet]

We broke the game so much with the modding x)

Does the placeholder guy we see in trailer is actually in the game files ?

[spark plinth]

Did you try to load custom Localization ? 🙂

[half willow]

as in?

[cobalt hamlet]

We badly need to manage to load localization of each mods without merging ... its a shit show actually

[spark plinth]

I'm giggling right now.

[half willow]

It depends, what kind of file are the loc files

.cfg?

[cobalt hamlet]

.ubulk

[half willow]

Then I doubt it

[cobalt hamlet]

Stalker2/Content/_Stalker_2/Localization/LocalizationDB

[half willow]

If you can find a way to add new lines into the loc files without overwriting the entire original one, then yeah

Otherwise you're outta luck

Clusterfuck

[vital coyote]

wait thats not a thing yet? (im weird i prefer single player gaming so i haven't messed with any of em)

[spark plinth]

I don't have the monolith AR so I cant do it. :c

[merry mountain]

no its not, its basically dead

[vital coyote]

thats dumb, you would think if Bethesda had a few braincells they would make it possible though 76's stuff

im megga dejected from bethesda stuff anymore after finding anomaly it just doesn't feel the same any more

[empty helm]

Wtf

[topaz cape]

that's way too far forward for that sight, is it possible to move it around?

[frail haven]

Can I post here without being banned

[topaz cape]

no, you're banned now

[frail haven]

Ok thank you

[topaz cape]

anytime

[empty helm]

Can you change SOFMOD variant so it doesnt have the square suppressor and the normal rifle one instead ? (they put a pistol suppressor on a rifle for some reason)

[frail haven]

I’ve never played storyline once

I’ve only played for warfare mode

Will I get banned bjs

[desert valve]

it looks like the DLC method only works when you add stuff

i can not get it to work while manipulating existing structs

it either CTDs or the change is not working

[hexed bane]

anyone alredy made gamma for stalker 2

🙂

[frail haven]

Mmm my uh blowjobs mmmmmmmmm

[scarlet cosmos]

Little question about the mods processing order, does it match windows file sorting or is it something else ?

While trying out the mod manager someone here made I noticed it's not the same order and I'm asking before opening an issue for it

[frail haven]

Stalker 2 needs a I

Mmmmmmm

[lunar chasm]

Sorry, but am i blind? i cannot see anything related to Shays living zone mod, like his mod page said, can someone guide me please 😄

It sucks if it doesn’t

[lunar chasm]

Thank you!

[vital coyote]

saw this erlier

paks load priority are mostly affected by the number after '_' and before '_P.pak' in pak's name. So if you have two paks with names such as z_mod1_100_P.pak and zzz_mod2_99_P.pak, mod1 will be loaded last.

[frail haven]

My shit is burning my asshole

Im on fentam too

still too far away

[spark plinth]

wait a minute. lol

[topaz cape]

that actually looks about right

eye relief on the real one is super garbage, that's pretty much how i've mounted mine to be able to see anything

[vital coyote]

deff not the same as the guns that come with the ability to use that scope but i do like the look of this

[spark plinth]

updated
#1312992178896633926 message

[topaz cape]

not mine but you get the idea:

[vital coyote]

optics look and feel diff on diffrent guns irl anyway

[scarlet cosmos]

okay thanks I'm even more lost but it doesn't seem to be what it's doing either so I'll open an issue. Ty

[topaz cape]

oh yea, absolutely, but put an elcan that far forward and you'll be blind

[vital coyote]

should be alphabetical, why most have zzzzzzzzZZZzzz like your load order is passing out

[topaz cape]

with red dots it's whatever

can slap those anywhere

[vital coyote]

if your having conflicts merge the mods

[vital coyote]

for sure

sight picture and eye relief is big, why i like my prism scope for mid range on my ar irl

[empty helm]

you can change the position for each sights ? I thought it was like one position for all

[vital coyote]

can get a decent 3x and is easy to get on sight

[summer silo]

Hey

Hey guys

You gonna go nuts

[topaz cape]

did you load loose files

[spark plinth]

yesn't, depends on the gun meshes and skeletons.

[summer silo]

Default item weights

Modded item weights

The motherfuckin way to load them

[spark plinth]

Didn't some already did that for every individual item SID?

[summer silo]

Screw replacing og files
All my homies hate replacing og files

[topaz cape]

y-yay, modularity

[summer silo]

The game loads custom configs

[spark plinth]

[summer silo]

You just add {refurl=AmmoPrototypes.cfg;refkey=A918D} as a reference to the config you want to append

[cobalt hamlet]

I see the custom config for CFG on VSC, can you drop me the link sir please ?

i dont remember where i saw this custom config

[summer silo]

Tbf I just extracted the files from the base pak, renamed it Custom and then removed all lines I didn't need.

And then I just told the game "Hey use this file as base to replace the base"

Like you can now replace individual lines without even the DLC method

Just make sure the structure is correct

[desert valve]

gonna try that

[summer silo]

Also its in #1309526198833119303. Look up vscode.. Or how it was written

Yeah its vscode

[spark plinth]

@vital coyote u asked forthe SOFMOD silencer?

who was it?

anyway, I didn't' know there was another 416 variant.

[hexed bane]

i just installed shays mod, theres a bandit shooting me from across the map... 🙂

[smoky stirrup]

im guessing "_P" at the end of a .pak name means persistent? or?

[vital coyote]

no but thats fucking sick big dog

[cobalt hamlet]

Thank you

[spark plinth]

Who was it??

[vital coyote]

not sure, havent been super plugged in today besides answering the off question here and there

[spark plinth]

there it is

[half willow]

God bless polaks, for fucking around and finding out

[wispy blade]

someone mod my pc so I can play stalker 2

[half willow]

Also, does it work if you give it different names? instead of adding Custom at the end, can I add Custom2?

[summer silo]

It should work just fine! Seems like the game can load a config file of any name, lol

[half willow]

Damn

I tried that first before fucking around with the DLC shit and I couldnt get it to work

But I was trying it in a folder

so I guess my bad

Should have just fucking ripped the file right in

[desert valve]

cant get it to work

i must be doing something wrong

[half willow]

Which means that all I did is help YOU make a DLC unlocker

[summer silo]

New findings
Seems to work without a hitch on files in ItemPrototypes
Can't replicate the effect on global files like CoreVariables

[spark plinth]

[summer silo]

... Might because there already is a CoreVariablesCustom

[half willow]

sooo

refer it to that instead

[summer silo]

Testing how it behaves if I change custom to tweaked

[spark plinth]

That;'s a lot of ARs

[summer silo]

Starting to turn into anomaly

[vital coyote]

[spark plinth]

[summer silo]

Status update. Files in ItemPrototypes can be named anything.
Gonna see if I can merge

Because why have 3 different files, when you could have one

[spark plinth]

formeeeeeee

[half willow]

spaghetti code gallore

[summer silo]

Say hi, to zzItemWeightTweaks

[cobalt hamlet]

a new battle with ZZ ?

[topaz cape]

absolutely baffling that you can't just slap any sights on any guns that have a picatinny by default, that's literally what the rail is for D:

doing gods work, thank you

[desert valve]

uhh got it working

do you know by any chance how i can set a member to "null"?

[summer silo]

I don't

I am going to try and figure out why this fucko wont work

[half willow]

now find out how to add upgrades to technicians

[half willow]

well, time to rewrite my mod to spaghetti code

[summer silo]

lol

You know. I should first check if CoreVariables edits work.
I'll make sprint take 0 stamina

[desert valve]

ok it looks like you can only override "the last one in the chain"

[torpid halo]

anyone have the jsontoasset plugin working? I have it setup correctly I thought, the command prompt is open and teh api says its running, but then I can't do anything with the plugin still.

[desert valve]

if you have sth like:

a
├─ b
│  ├─ c
│  ├─ d

you can only override c & d, not b for example

[summer silo]

👀

[spark plinth]

Only person I know is @void owl let the dude come by to answer that question. (many want to know)

[magic geyser]

dunno if you are talking about this, but you can make a custom cfg file (the nodeparser will go through all cfg files) and do something like this (for corevariables):

CurrentConfig : struct.begin {refurl=CoreVariables.cfg;refkey=CurrentConfig}
   LaunchConfig = ANotherALifeModConfig
struct.end
ANotherALifeModConfig : struct.begin {refurl=CoreVariables.cfg;refkey=DefaultConfig}
   ALifeGridUpdateDelay = 1.0
   ALifeGridVisionRadius = 64800.0
   SimulatePhysicsDistance = 50000.0
   GenericModelGridVisionRadius = 60000.0
   AgentSpawnNavMeshQueryDistance = 2000.0
   bALifeTick = true
   CorpseTimeout = 6000
   PsyNPCCorpseTimeout = 5
   LairSearchingRadius = 300000
struct.end

ref inside the CurrentConfig might not be necessary as I think there is only LaunchConfig key

[cobalt hamlet]

I try with ObjPrototype, Mesh to see if its work 🙂

[crimson laurel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXYuMDqlqng
someone needs to bring the laugo alien on god

[magic geyser]

how did you try to override b?

[topaz cape]

get me a chauchat too so i can pretend to be gun jesus in the zone

[crimson laurel]

is LaunchConfig a actual thing

[desert valve]

the same way, if that makes sense 😄

[hallow sand]

wait, could you hook into "CorpseTimeout = 6000" with XResurrectNPCAsZombie NpcUID maybe?

i dunno what it says

[desert valve]

if you take ItemPrototypes\AttachPrototypes.cfg for example, i can override EN_Laser_1 but not LaserTemplate

i assume because of this EN_Laser_1 : struct.begin {refkey=LaserTemplate}

[crimson laurel]

what does that mean

[desert valve]

the parser will most likely not look outside the file for that ref

[magic geyser]

Makes sense, if you want to override the base struct you must fix all the other refs to point to the new value.

[crimson laurel]

make it putin cutter and am in

ah "our russophobia isnt enough"

[spark plinth]

Hello again, I got it to be a
PreinstalledAttachmentsItemPrototypeSIDs : struct.begin {bskipref}

[crimson laurel]

can u remove the damn scopes from the as val/vintorez?

[desert valve]

hell yeah, now my mod can no longer conflict with other peoples stuff

very nice find

[topaz cape]

there's a unique one in the game without a scope

[spark plinth]

yes , will get to it eventually.

c:

[crimson laurel]

sadly no warsaw pact rail mount 😦

[topaz cape]

wish that was an upgrade

[crimson laurel]

need this on god

[topaz cape]

and then just give every sight in the game a side mount if it's an AK type weapon that you wanna put it on

[cobalt hamlet]

Seem that is not working with itemgenerator too

[spark plinth]

I've mentioned it before, I will port Tarkov weapons and attachments later on.

[topaz cape]

oh good, that means i don't have to do it

[spark plinth]

Hey, wait a minute, you can help!

[vital coyote]

mind if i pick your brain in the future when i have the time on the process? using the dlc thing right?

[desert valve]

nah even simpler, and yeah sure!

[crimson laurel]

if youre that dedicated please make it another menu similar to the upgrade on the technician but for attachments, the ui is already done

[vital coyote]

fuck yeah

[spark plinth]

Mayhaps, we'll see how far I can take it

[topaz cape]

gladly, feel free to drop me a dm when you start so we don't work on the same things

[magic geyser]

Yes, it is.

[crimson laurel]

but why would u do it like that, why not directly without the first struct

[topaz cape]

the very first thing i'm gonna do is add a goddamn side folding stock for the krinkov

[magic geyser]

How is the loader supposed to know which CoreVariables config to use?

[little sluice]

Woah we can do mesh swaps now?

[magic geyser]

I'm just showing that it is possible to work with custom key names for better mod compatibility in the future.

[hallow sand]

what if you reference this instead?

[10] : struct.begin
AttachPrototypeSID = RU_Laser_1
Socket = GripSocket
IconPosX = 150
IconPosY = 30
MeshPrototypeSID = RU_Laser_Margach
WeaponSpecificIcon = Texture2D'/Game/GameLite/FPS_Game/UIRemaster/UITextures/Inventory/WeaponAndAttachments/D12/T_inv_w_margach_laser.T_inv_w_margach_laser'
struct.end

For laser convo, sorry it took me a hot minute to find it

[spark plinth]

is that for me?

[hallow sand]

I mean, whoever was asking about laser stuff above

I am behind

it took a minute XD

It's the laser on the margarch, but it might give us the abilitiy to put one on

[crimson laurel]

ah, i think i was the first one to find out about using new files for itemprototypes but i didnt get it to work with other cfg files, maybe i did it wrong

[hallow sand]

so yes in a way it's for you @spark plinth too 😄

[summer silo]

I am
So freaking annoyed that it works in one place as expected but fails to work in another

[desert valve]

pushed to nexus, finaly no more conflicts

[half willow]

Yeah I can't get it to work for UpgradePrototypes, EffectPrototypes or WeaponGeneralSetupPrototypes

[spark plinth]

@empty helm

[crimson laurel]

i tried with itemcontainergenerator and didnt work

itemcontainerprototype

wtvr

maybe i structed it wrong

[summer silo]

I hear bandit radio beat in my head as I alt+f4 each time it fails to do the thing

[desert valve]

i cant follow you 👀

[hallow sand]

😮 Where follow? lol

[desert valve]

where are you stuck at?

[vital coyote]

whats the engine ini line for shadar warmup again?

[hallow sand]

Oh so this is a laser that goes on the shotgun, it's not a module laser like the rest

[desert valve]

which file is that from and what did you change? 😄

[hallow sand]

So MAYBE if whoever was trying to ref a laser and couldnt edit the regular laser

[hallow sand]

This is the DEFAULT code in

[summer silo]

Trying to make CoreVariables overwrite file that will replace the DialogFOVDefault to 100

[desert valve]

[SystemSettings]
r.PSOWarmup.WarmupMaterials=0

[vital coyote]

ty ty o7

[hallow sand]

Default code in "weapongeneralsetupprototypes.cfg

But just an idea for you or whomever to try.

[desert valve]

i got it working, so im happy 😄

[desert valve]

yeah you are running into the inheritance problem i think

uh no nvm

[summer silo]

All I'm trying to do tbf

DefaultConfig : struct.begin {refurl=CoreVariables.cfg;refkey=DefaultConfig}
   Priority = 1
   // frequency in seconds
   SkyLightUpdateDeltaTime = 2
   RealToGameTimeCoef = 12   
   ClimbViewYawLimit = 60.0
   ClimbViewPitchLimit = 30.0
   // / Player consts
   FOVDefault = 100.0
   CutsceneFOVDefault = 100.0
   DialogFOVDefault = 100.0
   DialogDofMaxFocusDistance = 10000.0
   DialogDepthOfFieldFstop = 32.0
   DialogDepthOfFieldSensorWidth = 24.0
struct.end```

Unfortunately it appears that the game wants not to hear it.

[cobalt hamlet]

i tried different ways with itemgenerators .. same case

[magic geyser]

I might be wrong, but I think only CoreVariables allows this due to the existence of the LaunchConfig property. In all other cases, you'll have the edit the existing file. For example, Containers will be loaded exclusively from ItemContainerGenerator and no other file, so all editing must be done inside this file.

[frozen anvil]

anyone knows where red scope textures are located?

anyone know command for uetools too set Factions rep

just wanted to complain somewhere about how much i dislike nexus and vortex compared to moddb and mo2

[little sluice]

Search for "Aim" in fmodel I found them earlier

[frozen anvil]

I found these earlier, but it's seems only for bigger scopes, not reflex type sights
